10 Things, Paul Baribeau (traducción al español)

Sometimes comparisons are silly, and sometimes we are the silly ones. I've been recently thinking so much about what I write in here, who reads it, how they like it, if they can even understand it when I just switch languages and get all flustered and sometimes even too full of myself. The truth is, the rules here don't apply like everywhere else in my life and I should probably just stop pretending like I have a big deal of control over things and life and people and communication. Nope, I suck at communicating, I can only grant a few people with my attention and thoughts because if not... well, things tend to get out of hand if I don't act like that. Monkey 23 has been playing constantly on the back of my head. That's probably been unfair to myself too. So, this post is an attempt to bring myself closer to the blog. I mean, I feel like I have been trying to accomplish a bunch of things without much success and sometimes I shouldn't really take that as personal note. 

Sometimes one just have to remember.. that nobody's really watching us while we sleep, satisfied, tired, silly-looking, jaded, torn, lifeless. Who cares? I don't believe there's a big giant eye in the sky, and neither should I believe that my life will be scrutinized by anyone other than me, cruel me, even if I'd love it to be, while immersed in my thoughts, to believe that such a thing will happen and that it also will come with blessings and some sort of recognition. I know, you guys, I mean, I know how it sounds now that I'm writing about it, ha, ha, but, cut me some slack, would you? For a long time I didn't think my life in particular was of great value.But I'm changing that and.. this song might brighten the days of somebody else, so, here, I'm setting it free :)

Go out and rampage!

(I have been pilling up translations that I want to bring myself to publish, for some stupid reason I keep overthinking things, I promise I will translate more stuff soon! Till then!).

10 Things

name ten things you wanna do before you die and then go do them.
name ten places you really wanna be before you die and then go to them
name ten books you wanna read before you die and then go read them
name ten songs you wanna hear again before you die, get all of your friends together and scream them

because right now all you have is time time time yeah,
but someday that time will run out.
that's the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.

think of all the things that are wrong with your life and then fix them
think of all the things that you love about your life, be thankful you are blessed with them
think of all the things that hold you back and realize that you don't need them
think of all the mistakes you have made in your life, make sure that you never repeat them

because right now all you have is time time time yeah,
but someday that time will run out.
that's the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.

name ten thousand reasons why you never wanna die, go and tell someone who might've forgotten
try to list the endless reasons why it's good to be alive, and then just smile for awhile about them

soon the sun will rise and another day will come
soon enough the sun will set, another day will be gone

and right now all you have is time time time yeah,
but someday that time will run out.
that's the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.

10 cosas

di diez cosas que quieras hacer antes de morir y vete a hacerlas

di diez lugares que quieras conocer antes de morir y vete a verlos

di diez libros que quieras leer antes de morir y ve a leerlos

di diez canciones que quieras oir otra vez antes de morir, junta a todos tus amigos y grítenlas

porque ahora mismo, todo lo que tienes es tiempo, tiempo, tiempo, sip

pero un día se te va a acabar

es la única cosa de la que puedes estar seguro

piensa en todas las cosas de tu vida que esten mal y arréglalas

piensa en todas las cosas que adoras de tu vida, y siéntete agradecido de tenerlas

piensa en todas las cosas que te guardas y date cuenta de que no te hacen falta

piensa en todos los errores de tu vida y asegúrate de no repetirlos

porque ahora mismo, todo lo que tienes es tiempo, tiempo, tiempo

per un día se te va a acabar

es la única cosa de la que puedes estar seguro

di diez mil razones por las que no quieres morir nunca y ve a decírselas a alguien a quien se le hayan olvidado

trata de enlistar todas las cosas por las que vale la pena vivir y sonríe por un rato al pensarlas

pronto saldrá el sol y otro día habrá empezado

pronto se pondrá y otro día se habrá acabado

ahora mismo, todo lo que tienes es tiempo, sí

pero un día, ese tiempo se acabará

es la única cosa de la que puedes estar seguro
